I read that Recruits in basic training earn roughly £15,671 a year, but as your only at basic training for 14 weeks (around 3.2 months) means they get £1119 a week making it £4477 a month while at training . is this right? how is it worked out
Sorry to say but that not how it’s worked out you you’ll also get more pay once’ you’ve completed the phase 1 training and trade training. But whilst you’re in training you’ll be on a reduced amount but still take home a good chunk
Hi - Yes it's £15,985 a year but once you complete training this rises.
